California > The Mighty

Early in the morning you'll remember all the words just right
If you never want to be a silhouette you've got to find your light
For 40 days and 40 nights you lie awake, I know you cry
But dreaming in your room isn't ever going to get it done, yeah you got to walk before you run

Hey son, go to California, dance with the angels, dress how you wanna
Anyway, just like the river starts with the raindrops, you make it better
Papa said, son fight like the great ones, keep your chin tucked, just like I taught ya
Anyway, who says you can't go where you wanna, California

So call me when you're close and you feel them city lights
Don't let them voices in your head talk to you, know they tell you lies
Yeah, for 100 days and 100 years, yeah there be demons, yeah there be fears
One day you're gonna look back how far you've gone, but you better walk before you run

Hey son, go to California, dance with the angels, dress how you wanna
Anyway, just like the river starts with the raindrops, you make it better
Papa said, son fight like the great ones, keep your chin tucked, just like I taught ya
Anyway, who says you can't go where you wanna, California

California
California
California

Hey son, go to California, live with the angels, love who you wanna
Anyway, you know I'll miss you, just like your mama, call if you want to
Anytime you need a hand now, I'll be there now, just like I taught ya
Anyway, who says you can't go where you wanna, California

Hey son, go to California, dance with the angels, dress how you wanna
Anyway, just like the river starts with the raindrops, you make it better
Papa said, son fight like the great ones, keep your chin tucked, just like I taught ya
Anyway, who says you can't go where you wanna, California
